No, Arabic numerals are written left to right, regardless of the direction of the Arabic script itself.
While the Arabic script is written from right to left, the numbers themselves maintain a left-to-right order, as is common in many other languages. This means that a number like "123" will be written in the same order in Arabic-speaking regions as it is elsewhere.
For example:
- The number 123 is written as "123" using Arabic numerals.
- In Arabic text alongside the number, the Arabic text flows from right to left, but the "123" remains left-to-right.
However, when listing counting numbers, some resources indicate they may be listed right-to-left, such as: ..., ۳, ۲, ۱, ۰.
In conclusion, while the Arabic language is written from right to left, Arabic numerals are generally written from left to right.
